my plans are to just bolt up said kit to my custom 70mm header back and go, but my gut thinks that this will cause a LOSS of boost.

the exhaust will lean it out some. as for the VAFC to tune it, it does not like to add fuel, only subtract so if you had a FPR you would turn it up and lean out with the VAFC 
thanks for the help guys!7psi+ takes emange/ems and bigger injectors correct?

though keep the vafc for now because at that boost it would be a nice tuning tool

Nope... all you need is to replace the pulley and belt if you're running a CTSC. For a Vortech you should already be at 7psi

Maybe I should have clarified a bit more before stating that, but it really did work. 7psi on a car with nothing more than a stock CTSC will work just fine nearly everytime. Tossing an aftermarket exhaust on even a stock 5psi CTSC can possibly lean it out past the FPR's ability to compensate. Chances are your problem wasnt the amount of boost you were running, but was your exhaust.
I was able to compensate with the fpr, but it really wasn't the best setup, so switched over to emanage and larger injectors.
